I have a 4.04 save and one for the 540 debug build, I don't see any way to post it so how do you want it?

Any of many upload services is alright, eg 2shared.com.

Hello!

I'm having some problem with randomly generated stats.

I can understand a prostitute with 10 base Int and 8 base AG. Some of these girls are smart and swift, and just had bad luck.

But where the hell did a prostitute learned some heavy weapons handling? (Please don't make that easy joke. Please.) How a prostitute can have 4 heavy weapons skill?

I just don't get that! That just shouldn't happen!

Want a screenshot?

Could you tweak a bit with the randomly generated skills so stuff like that doesn't happens? Please?

Thank you!

[Reelyanoob]

Hmmm I would've thought a prostitute with a couple of points in Security was more likely

[Kay12]

Many people have small amounts of random skills. I guess heavy weapons are the only one that seems unintuitive for any random person to have. Maybe they're cannon hobbyists?

That can be fixed, sure.

[Soadreqm]

The prostitute's parents were bee farmers and and they used flamethrowers as population control. Then a CONSERVATIVE BUSINESS ESTABLISHMENT foreclosed the bee farm and she was left to sell herself on the street. She still fondly remembers her bee-torching days, and probably reads magazines about flamethrowers, as they remind her of happier times.

Another possible explanation is the easy joke you alluded to.

But yeah. I don't think random civilians starting with heavy weapons skill should be unthinkable. Probably pretty rare, though.

[Kay12]

Well, making it uniformly unlikely for everyone is maybe too much (unless the skill is also added to soldiers etc possible heavy weapon guys) but that would certainly be the easy way. Any other skill that should be made rarer (alternatively, some skill that should be more common as random skill)?

[Jonathan S. Fox]

It is already true that there are a selection of combat skills that are extremely rare for people to randomly start with. You don't get many people starting with Sword, for example. If Heavy Weapons isn't among them, it's an oversight, but merely the fact that it happened doesn't mean it's not working. Working as intended means that a prostitute with heavy weapons is very rare, not impossible. Exceptions happen. It makes that character special.

Yeah. I forgot that flamethrowers were actually legal in the USA. http://www.cracked.com/article_17016_7-items-you-wont-believe-are-actually-legal.html

Nevermind then.

Now I said that... How about buying some at the pawn shop?

Thanks.

China, the gun-control capital of the world

Oh come on, you can't be serious...

*searches China's gun control policy*

Huh.

[Reelyanoob]

No that works for me, China are super-paranoid Centrists.
Anything which threatens that is eliminated, no matter how innocent it might seem to other nations.
Pollution is no threat to the Party, whereas a population with guns is. So they regulate guns but not toxic waste.
The classical Conservatives in most nations are NOT pro-gun for the average person. Unless they need you as part of their voter bloc.
Countries without two-party elections NEVER have pro-gun conservatives.

China are really very extreme Conservative in many ways.

[Kay12]

China's communist ideology is just a shadow of what it used to be. The gap between a capitalist and a proletarian in China is much bigger than, for example, here in Finland. They don't have that high taxes, and they don't use taxes (as far as I know) to signifantly mitigate income disparity.

McCarthyists ahoy! I present to you Finland, the nation that's more socialist than China!

[Angel Of Death]

I have a minor suggestion: Instead of Brainless EVOOOL Redneck Scum defending the TV and radio stations, security guards could. It's currently far too easy to get into the TV and radio stations and get out alive.

[Kay12]

I'd prefer the Redneck horde to ramp up if the player's camping.

[Angel Of Death]

I'd prefer the Redneck horde to ramp up if the player's camping.

It would still be far too easy, in my opinion. 4 people with very low axe skill can easily kill a group of 6 rednecks.

[Kay12]

I meant ramp up the difficulty, not the numbers.

On the other hand, I don't think it's any real issue that the rednecks are easy. It isn't exactly a gamebreaker, as killing them only affects the same issues you get to 100% with only a few kills anyway and gun skills are effective even without that intensive training.
